Invert socket broke off motherboard
I was replacing a screen on my Macbook (Penryn) and while removing the inverter cable from the motherboard, the socket came off. The plastic was very brittle.
Is there any way to solder the socket back on?
Currently, I put everything back together (not including the inverter cable socket) and it will not power on.
Does the inverter cable need to be plugged into the motherboard in order for the Macbook to power on?
Thank you!
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

Here is an update -
I managed to get the inverter cable back together, but not get the socket back on the motherboard. I did check where the socket was and no traces are anywhere - it appeared to be a clean break.
I tried to boot up the Mac and what happens now is this: it boots, the hard drive starts, the fans run. I don't get the chime sound and all I get is a black screen.
I can reset the pram and cannot boot from CD/DVD
Is the logic board fried? Or is it possible I didnt hook something up properly?
I did order a monitor adapter and it should be in tomorrow. I will post an update when I have time to look at it again.
Thanks!

Here is another update -
I got the VGA adapter in today. The MacBook does indeed work hooked up to an external monitor.
Where can I find a replacement inverter socket to solder on to the motherboard? I have looked around, and maybe I am not looking for the correct item, but I cannot seem to find anything anywhere.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
